Ghilda holds her nose and jumps in, feeling no panic as the magic of the potion kicks in. She stabs at one of the saboteur Sahuagin, striking it squarely between the eyes, with surprisingly massive force.

Seeing that her first arrow missed, Jane loads another one and fires.
Seeing it hit the water and ver off to one side, Jane starts to think about spells.

Ghilda Sahaugin have the Aquatic subtype, so you also add 3d6 damage as salt forms in the wound. :)
Marnir and Markizio combine to cut one Sahaugin to pieces.
Kung drives the sharks nose back through it's head, giving it a very undignified demise.
Ghilda expertly stabs her Sahaugin with Brine's sting.
The sea beast ignores the sting of brine and hisses at her.
Sahaugin:
Grey Looks furious at the death of his shark mount and stabs at Kung
Hitting.
Yellow wounded by Ghilda flies into a Blood frenzy and stabs at her.
Hitting.
Purple drives his shark in to attack Marnir
Missing.
Teal Seems to be lining his shark up for a charge at Kung.
New round.
The party can take their actions.
Expertly treading water Marnir turns to see another fishman guide his shark mount into the frothing underwater melee. The shark's jaws snap closed inches from Marnir's face and he responds by driving the point of his boarding axe at the sahuagin rider.
Hoping the shark goes away after its rider has been taken down, Markizio also attacks the same fishman as his captain.
But the magus failed to notice the other fishman; he panicked and his spell fizzled in the water.
He redoubled his effort with his falcata strike.

A cautious, strategic warrior would make sure that they were aware of the entire battlefield at all time. Kung had no clue that someone was lining up a charge on him, however. He begins to pummel the sahaugin whose mount he just killed, trying to complete the job.

Seeing as those in the water are all wet, Jane loads up another arrow and fires at teal.
Kung's new weapons seem to suit him, Sahuagin(Grey) dies as his fist tears through his skull.
Marnir and Markizio continue their deadly tag-team. Sahaugin(Purple) drifting away dead from their blows.
Sahaugin and Sharks:
Yellow continues his frenzied assault on Ghilda.
Hitting.
Teal urges his shark into a charging attack on Kung.
Missing pitifully.
Purple driven to a frenzy by the blood in the water tears savagely at Markizio
Missing.
The party can now take their actions.
Struggling to fend off the blood-mad shark Marnir hacks at it with his boarding axe before it can sink it's razor teeth into himself or Markizio. He has little awareness of how the fight is going elsewhere, his vision limited by the increasingly murky water.
Jane misses another shot... "Hey guys.... If you got this, i might go start dinner."
Kung looks surprised as the shark bumps him lightly as it misses the attack with its enormous bite. Furious that it would try to upset the good time he's having in the water, he launches a fist at what he now recogizes as the universal weak spot: the nose.
"Kung kill sharks as baby, kill you too!"

Thanking his foresight for the extra protection, Markizio once more tried to cast his spell defensively and strike with his falcata.
He filled his lungs with oxygen from the ocean water filtered through his gills and attacked and the well-dressed gillman attacked.

Ghilda keeps attacking (Yellow)
Kung really disgusting ends a sharks existance.
Marnir and Markizio continue their efficient slaughter of their opponents, killing another shark.
Ghilda stabs 9Yellow again, wounding him heavily.
Sahaugin
Yellow Attacks Ghilda
Missing.
Teal attacks Kung
Missing even worse!
The party can finish these fish sticks off now.
As the dead shark starts to sink to the dark depths of the cove Marnir pushes off the Drake's hull towards the fishman engaged with Ghilda, trying to spear the creature on his boarding axe.
Jane is just gonna watch and hope her team takes care of this water thing... "So, would you guys want beef or chicken for dinner?"
Well-dressed gillman was going to cast a spell and deliver it with his falcata but decided against it. He instead used his webbed hands and feet to get near the last sea devil and just slash at it.
His magic allowed for such an efficient strike even under water but the sea devil moved at the last second and markizio cut only water.

With one hand still embedded in the head of a still-twitching shark, Kung lets another blow fly at the last sahaugin with his other gauntleted hand.

Kung finishes the last Sahaugin easily, the waters calm and grow still again.
You clamber back onto the Drake with the aid of the ropes thrown down for you.
There are no signs of more of the Sahaugin approaching your ship. It seems you must now wait for the light of dawn to reach the cove. What are you doing as night falls over the cove?
Marnir heaves himself onto the deck, water dripping from his clothes. He shakes his head like a dog and water showers from his hair and beard. "Double the watch for the rest of the night," he orders . "I don't want to be surprised by those bloody fishmen again."
He finds Jena, the ship's carpenter, before he heads to his cabin top dry off and change. "I don't know how much damage those bastards did before we got to them, but I want you to organise a party of carpenters and deckhands to assess the damage tomorrow morning. We need that rudder working as quick as you can."
Jean salutes cheerfully "On it Captain."
Markizio clambers on board and promptly transforms to his usual form.
He rubs his neck to make sure no sign of gills remain, "That was... interesting."
He nods at the captain, "Aye, double watch duty tonight and hopefully find out where we need to go in the morning. Did anyone grab the seadevils weapons? Anything else on them? I could go back and check..."
Kung has to pause halfway up the rope before finishing his climb back onto the ship, weary from the vigorous fight.
"Yes, as they say. Double watch. Kung sleep. Wake if real danger. Better if let Kung sleep." The big man makes his way to his hammock, which he strings up on deck.
Jane finishes making dinner. "I'll head to bed early and catch the early morning shift." she says before departing.
Night falls quickly with the Drake surrounded by cliff walls, it's very dark in the cove with the overhanging vines and the crew gives uneasy glances over their heads as they eat the evening meal, take their grog and retire below in pairs and groups.
Only an hour later, still evening rather than late night there is a howl from the deck, and the alarm bell is rung desperately.
You race on deck to see - What at first appeared to be nothing more than a tangle of thick, twisted vines growing among the canopy above has suddenly coiled itself into a large mass dangling high above. A large beaklike maw emerges from the center of the fecund mass, numerous thick, grasping vines whipping through the air.
The creature has reached out and grabbed one of the watch in a vine and is dragging his struggling body towards it's beak.
Party actions first, then the beast will kill it's first victim.
Seeing this thing grabbing at the body, Jane quickly drinks her monkey fish potion and becomes a monkey pawed woman with a climb speed of 10.

Hurrying out of her cabin, Ghilda casts Weapon of Awe on Brine's Sting upon realizing the horror on deck after hearing the commotion.

Markizio blunders on to the deck and takes out his falcata.
Realizing the beast is too far away, he changes tactics and unleashes a series of energy missiles at the thing.

The ringing of the bell rouses Marnir from his cabin and he races on deck. Seeing the huge maw and the sailor being dragged towards it he uses his magic to coat the grappled deckhand in a film of slippery grease, hoping that the man will be able to escape before he is eaten.
"What is that thing?!" he yells, looking around for an answer.
Kung is unsurprisingly unaware of what the beast is. He looks at it almost in wonder; a lifetime spent on ships, mostly fighting beasts on shore or in the water, has left him largely unprepared for a mysterious hanging plant beast.
He anxiously looks around for a way to get to the beast, looking either low-hanging vines from it, or the ships rigging itself.
Marnir finishes his spell and turns to Kung and Markizio. "Looks like we'll have to go up the rigging to get to this things. Ready for a climb?"
Marnir finishes his spell and turns to Kung and Markizio. "Looks like we'll have to go up the rigging to get to this things. Ready for a climb?"
Markizio nodded, "Yeah, ready."
He turned to Ghilda and Lane, "Cover us with missile fire."
Markizio puts a hand on the captain's shoulder, "Wait, captain. Maybe we can even the odds a little."
He then pulled sand from his spellpouch, fine, very fine sand and he blew it towards the beast as he infused it with magic. The fine sand exploded in a cloud in front of the tentacled beast.

1st round:
Markizio blasts the beast with arcane missiles.
The beast discards the captured sailor, his desiccated body slamming onto the deck, shriveled from the loss of all his blood. It scuttles along the overhanging vines towards more food. The vines sagging lower under it's weight until it hangs 10 feet from the deck.
A vine lashes out to attack Kung
Hitting.
VS Kung's CMD of 24.
The vine wraps around Kung tightening painfully and dragging him towards the beast.
The pain gets worse as the beast begins draining Kung's blood through his skin. Kung you also lose 1 point of strength from the blood drain.
2nd round.
Markizio casts his spell on the beast.
The beast thrashes about in surprise as it is now blinded, and is outlined with glowing light.
Ghilda cast Prayer on the party. - You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a –1 penalty on such rolls.
The beast is now 10 feet over you, Kung is grappled and being lifted up towards the razor sharp beak snapping greedily in the beasts center.
Party actions can now go.
Marnir growls in anger as the corpse of one of his sailors thumps to the deck. His growl loudens to a roar of rage as the beast lifts Kung from the deck and begins to crush the half-orc in it's tendrils.
Marnir moves towards the mainmast and begins to pull himself up the rigging towards the yard as a flashing cloud of sand explodes over the creature and it starts thrashing about. Marnir grabs hold of the yard and pulls himself up, axe ready to hack at the creature. "Hold fast Kung! We're coming!" he shouts.
